And yet, I find myself drawn to her, like everyone else at the table. She's beautiful, funny, and kind, and it's obvious that in the six weeks she spent here, she became an integral part of the group, filling the office with bubbly laughter and youthful optimism... which, on a construction site, is as cherished as it is rare.
